What's the greatest distance you have cycled in 1 day?

[PeteXXX]

139 miles overnight. Dunwich Dynamo plus onwards to Lowestoft for 06.00

Must be, that’s pretty close to the current men’s records on uprights.

He has been top ten on the BBAR a few times Inc iirc a second and he raced at elite level back in the day. I think for the big distances it is the ability to shut out the pain as well as the power.

206 miles Isle of Sheppey to Burnham on Sea. 14 hours and 10 minutes of riding.

Overnight really, but 132 miles (on fixed gear). We went a bit astray on the 2008 Dunwich Dynamo. It's 112.7 miles, we had to do 12 miles to get to the start, and the balance is us missing a turn in Lavenham and going via Stowmarket (which was actually quite peaceful; we navigated by the moon and the lights of RAF Wattisham).

131 miles through some fabulous Welsh scenery including some big hills. Probably not the cleverest route for a first metric double-century.

For me never that far as there's plenty of uphill stuff here, yesterday was 180km but with 3,000m of climbing in there, nothing flatter exists here target is a 200km/5,000m ride

I've done quite a few rides over 200 km, a few of which were pretty flat, most of which were very undulating, but several of them were very hilly (3,000+ m of ascent). A few rides close to 250 km.

target is a 200km/5,000m ride

Marmotte? About 200km if you descend back to Bourg d'Oisans

 

[Specialeyes]

155 miles overnight (Home-Hackney-Dunwich-Darsham)
175 miles in a 24-hour period with a wee kip in the middle (21 hours: Tower Bridge-Newhaven, Dieppe-Eiffel Tower)

Strava tells me it was 243 km (151 miles) on my single speed. South London to Cambridge followed by a FNRttC to King’s Lynn, so fairly flat terrain.

 

[tallliman]

128 miles (200km ride plus 3 miles home from the train ride home!).

Satisfying as it was in hindsight, I remember being dropped repeatedly by @13 rider over what could only be described as speed bumps towards the end. That was after @Supersuperleeds persuading me the cafe was just around the corner for 10 miles.....

 

[LarryDuff]

116 I think it was about 5 years ago

 

[Twilkes]

100 miles, Glasgow-Gourock-Dunoon-Glasgow, but that was a good few years ago. Most this year is 57 miles.

I recently went round the coast from Dunoon, over Glen Finart and the two hills up to Rest & Be Thankful and back to Glasgow via the Garelochead road, it is a great ride.

 

[Kestevan]

Done the c2ç in a day sportive 4 times.
That's 150 miles and approx 12000 ft of climbing.

Quite fancy a go at a flatter 200 miles sometime..

 

[lane]

130 miles a couple of times. Hoping to do it again later this month - we shall see......

 

[Tribansman]

240 miles. Letchworth to Whitby. Ending in the North York Moors really not clever!

 

[StuAff]

In 24 hours: 223.58 miles, from home to Mumbles Pier (Pompey to Cardiff, then the Cardiff-Swansea FNRttC) in 2013. Actual riding time about 18 1/2 hours. I rode the seven and a half miles back to Swansea station after breakfast. Haven't managed another double ton since, though I've come close (190- Pompey-London-Brighton-Pompey, 2018). Next longest rides: 179, 174, 173, 165, 164, 162. What I lack in speed I compensate for, a bit, with endurance & sheer bloodymindedness.
